Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jistin stood at the outskirts of the group inside, her hazel eyes squeezed shut and hands balled into tight fists at her sides. She wouldn't deny it, this Hotaru guy scared her, his raw, Dark power was much too familiar to her for her to be comfortable with, but...he was hurting people now, people he cared about once from the sound of it. And he'd insulted Sora's hard work too! She gritted her teeth. This was exactly the kind of thing she had-! Her eyes snapped open. She had decided. She swung an arm out, away from everyone, and Crescent's Cage came into her grip, a dull neon green glow already growing at the base of the blade's barrel. She dashed out before anyone could stop her, shouldering past the old magician on her way over the threshold. Out on the stoop Jistin immedietly dropped to a knee, using it to brace the end of her black blade on, shutting one hazel for better aim as she looked down her Keyblade at her Darkness-charged target, waiting for the right charge on her specialty magic to fire.

He shook his head. "I'm merely doing what I feel I must." He looked at Jistin. "When I'm like this, I can feel those that have been around this type of power." He turned his head to face Merlin. "And as I said, there are visitors on their way. Ask yourself Merlin, is Leon the type of man who would rush in, when learning this, if he was able to, and just who would they be interested in. I may draw their attention, but then again, until today, they didn't know I was here...." He closed his eyes, and chuckled. "I'm doing what I must to pull their focus, and keep everyone else safe." He opened his eyes, and glowered at the old mage. "Even if that means becoming a villain." He turned his attention to Leon's body. "Oh....so you can still move old man...."

Leon had been trying to bring himself to a standing position since he's body landed. ".....I.....wont....."A cough of blood cut his words off.

"How utterly pathetic....but as a swordman, you do have amazing pride Leon....but you should rest now." He started moving towards Leon, and called back to Merlin. "I'm going to make him bleed, the wound will be severe. Be sure he lives. I wont damage anything vital. Don't worry." He picked up Leon's gunblade. "Such a unique weapon, for such a unique man...." He bent down, and picked Leon up by his throat. "This is for you're safety, sensei. I hope you don't hate me...." He both them around, to block himself from sight. "I just can't have you interfering with what happens next...." He sighed as he plunged Leon's gunblade into the man. "Merlin.." He called out. "You should take him inside now.....before he bleeds to death..." He withdrew the weapon and flung it to the side.

((*Leon smacks hotaru* You have any idea how much that crap hurt! *hotaru shrugs* I'm guessing a lot? Besides, you should thank me...there only gets to be one hothead around, and that's me. *hotaru shrugs again after being smacked a second time by leon*))

Zero's eyes turned cold. "Oh you're a REAL peice of work arn't you you little brat." It wasn't Zero's voice though. Phantom shot forward slamming her massice spinned Keyblade into the boy wings unfurling. "So reckless with the power given to you." she hissed to him, black hir mingling with white, eyes still two toned but most definatly Phantom. "Don't you know that's how you meet your end!?" She hissed shoving him back into the building behind him.

Anna stumbled out of the house, still shaking incredibly, but trudging on despite, each step bringing her great pain. "Everybody! Stop!" she hissed between her teeth. She looked levelly at Hotaru. "If people are coming, I want you as far away as possible Hotaru!" she said as she breathed heavily. "I don't want people from the heartless anywhere near this place, especially if they are high enough to know you're family! And I'm not letting them anywhere near you!" She took out her sword from behind her back. "Remember this sword? The one that will never loose a fight? The one that has corrupted the greatest Kings? The one in which only those that don't have a single shred of evil in their hearts, the ones that don't want, by any means, to harm other can not be tempted by? Do you want it Hotaru?" She looked at him very seriously, waiting for an answer.

He shook his head. "Sorry, but can you not touch me like that....it's weird feeling Zero's hand." He turned his attention to Anna. "And........no. I don't want that pitiful sword. It may be nice in a fight, but I'll win on my own, without the aide of it's enchantments." He turned his attention back to Phantom. "And as for how I handled Leon.....he's to stubborn to have listened to any requests I made. Especially with this power coming closer." He gave a weak smile as he looked Phantom in the eyes. "I'll agree to let this go. Until I meet with them, then it goes on, and then I'll let you train me, is that acceptable?" He reached up, and took hold of Zero/Phantom's hand, and brought away from his cheek.

"You don't have to need it to want it," she seethed quietly. 'Crap' She feel to her hands and knees and tried to control her shaking. 'Not now! Not now! I'm not losing to this power!' She over at Merlin, who had been tending to Leon, and her eyes clearly told him to not, under any circumstances, try and stop her. She used the sword to help her up. "Dang it, Hotaru! You don't need this power! I won't be by it again! You said you can sense when someone has been around it! Have you been able to sense me this whole time then! Because no one worked closer or worked harder for your family then me!" Her eyes, filled with fury, stared him down like a hawk.

"Good," she said, addressing two things, while the sword disappeared. "Less I have to worry about and less I have to explain." Once he reverted the power, her body stopped shaking, put was still in even worse condition than before. She cautiously stepped over to him and took him by the chin to turn his face to hers. "You are better than this power and then any member of your family. You do not, do not, need this thing. And I can't stand the thought of you using it. I'm too familiar with it for that. Please, just look at you did to Leon with it. Do you really want to harm someone like that and, remember, you've already said you have no desire the sword."
